Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarl L is a senior platform engineering leader with 11 years of experience helping early-stage startups design reliable cloud infrastructure and build high-performing engineering teams. He combines hands-on pipeline and IaC expertise—Terraform, Chef, Puppet—with SRE and compliance automation to deliver repeatable, auditable environments. Carl has moved between hands-on engineering and management roles at startups and scale-ups (CTO/co‑founder, CIO, engineering manager), which gives him both product-oriented pragmatism and operational rigor. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he brings an unusual background as a former attorney turned developer and engineering leader, pairing legal-trained attention to risk and compliance with practical cloud engineering. Outside of work he is a father and maker—woodworking and “janky” knife-making—bringing a creative, tinkerer’s mindset to systems design.
